This book is quite interesting as it gives the perspective of
specific animals or human organs - LITERALLY! When you read the
various chapters it is written in such a way that it is as though
the animal is speaking to you. I find that it makes it more
interesting to learn about a specific animal when it is written
that way.
Throughout the book, you will learn more information about the
field sparrow, the whales, the platypus, the swallow, the glowworm,
the dragonfly (my second best creature I think after the ladybug
*grin*), the human eye, the earthworm, the intestinal bacterium,
and the golden plover. Then there is a chapter about the animals
that did talk in the Bible. Do you know which ones?
I learned a lot from the chapters I have read and I know I am not
done yet with this wonderful little book. While I read one of the
chapters once, I quizzed my oldest son about some of the things I
was learning. He was very interested in learning more and asked to
read the book when I am done. Since homeschool permits us to
include new books in our day-to-day life, I don't see why not. I am
certain he will enjoy the information that is included in this book
very instructive. This child of mine has an incredible memory and
will bring up the information whenever it will be necessary and
appropriate. I can't wait to see when he will pull out some
interesting fact from this book and tell us about it. You should
see him telling out loud about how wrong the museum is when he sees
information about millions of years old. I'm so proud of him to be
able to voice this information out loud.
I strongly recommend If Animals Could Talk for anyone who wants to
learn interesting facts about certains animals/human organs. Let it
WoW you…
